Failsafe Rod and Powder Measure hitting
Quote from Reloader on September 21, 2021, 8:07 amWhen the powder Measure moves "up" the golden arm that's connected to the Failsafe rod hits with the frame of the "guide" where the sliding powder bar moves.
Then when moving "down" it hits it again and gets stuck there for a moment. Then it's released when the shaft reaches its most downward position.
This video of some other guy shows mostly the same thing, but mine hits when it moves up AND down:

My Failsafe rod end is has it turns not in 90° but a little less. Could this be the reason?
I can reload just fine, but I'm worried this might wear some piece or break it in the near future.

I didn't like it on my '650 so I also bent the rod to have two 90° bends and it is much smoother and doesn't "bang." There has been speculation that the banging settles the powder or keeps the powder from bridging, but I think it's just a kludge fix for a potential double-charge liability issue.
